Politics good for your mental health

There is a recent theory, saying that, protesting or volunteering with a political party is good for your mental health. Given that these are generally group activities it is easy to see that by being social we improve our lonley state.

I was able to get my ballot together for the Green Party of Canada Convention. I am just now in the wee hours of Monday morning with six hours of work in front of me today teaching math and statistics getting ready to go to the 7-11 and buy a stamp to mail my ballot. It is good to vote.
